Under Leo's persistent pestering, MEI had no choice but to agree.
Mainly, she was afraid of being cut in line... She didn't want to be cut in line again!
But even though she agreed, she still had to go home first to get her toiletries and pajamas.
Of course, this was also because she wanted to calm down properly.
After all, no matter how you put it, tonight was her most important day.
Therefore, no matter what, she should attend in full dress.
So—
"Kiana, what exactly do you want to say to me?"
Looking at Kiana who was following her home, her mood was extremely subtle.
After all, the fact that the other party wanted to cause trouble was practically written on her face. To say she hadn't reacted to it yet would naturally be impossible.
Coupled with the other party's hesitant appearance, which made even her feel tired for Kiana, she simply asked directly.
"Um, MEI..."
Bracing herself, Kiana asked back, "You agreed to him just like that?"
"You were right there; how could I refuse in that situation?"
Without waiting for Kiana to continue, she added, "So just say it straight, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Could it be that tonight you want to..."
Although she tried hard to keep a straight face, a blush couldn't help but rise on her exquisite, doll-like pretty face.
"Together?"
Tentatively, she asked in a soft voice.
"! Of course not!"
Not expecting MEI to propose this, Kiana hurriedly shook her small head like a rattle drum and said, "I haven't mentally prepared myself for that kind of thing yet!"
"But—"
Although confused about what other little clever ideas Kiana could have besides this, MEI discussed this matter first.
"Doing this with him can allow us to [Level Up]."
"Our time is limited; we must increase our strength as much as possible now."
"Even if we aren't together today, there will come a day... when we need to be together, right?"
After saying this, not only her pretty face, but even her snow-white neck and ears were dyed with a blush.
Furthermore, she wasn't talking about the current [Honkai Domain], but referring to the [Finality] that was about to arrive in the future.
Leo had already told her that even if she could call upon the [Fire Moth] behind [Mobius], they would eventually still have to face the true Honkai, the finale named [Finality].
Precisely because of this, she understood that she could no longer separate from Leo no matter what.
So even if she still held some reserve in her heart, it was impossible to retreat at this moment.
Otherwise, who knew when her turn in the queue would come!
"Uh... Mm."
Slightly stunned, Kiana couldn't help but nod with a blushing face.
Just—
"But isn't my current state unable to retain power?"
"So one day less doesn't matter. Moreover, this is your first night; both Mei and I understand the importance of this to you."
"Therefore, regarding being together or whatever, I indeed have no such intention."
After saying that, she shook her head again.
"Then..."
Seeing that Kiana didn't seem to be lying, MEI couldn't help but get curious.
"What exactly is the idea you've been calculating all this time?"
"Don't deny it, everyone can see it!"
Without waiting for Kiana to speak, she interrupted the spellcasting in advance.
"Ugh..."
Realizing her little thoughts had nowhere to hide, Kiana could only scratch her head with a face full of awkwardness and say, "This morning... didn't I interrupt your good deed?"
"Mm..."
Nodding slightly, MEI analyzed, "So you want to make up for it?"
"But haven't we already reconciled?"
"Yes..."
Nodding honestly, Kiana said, "Precisely because you reconciled just like that, I couldn't think of how to make it up to you."
"Keeping this matter in my heart, I feel a bit unable to let it go."
"Uh..."
Hearing this, the corners of MEI's mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. Although she could understand Kiana's thoughts, she couldn't agree with them.
"Anyway—"
Thinking for a moment, she spoke bluntly, "Not coming to cause trouble is help enough."
"Actually."
Although MEI had already clearly expressed her thoughts to her, Kiana was possessed by a cunning idea at this moment.
"I have thought of a good idea."
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, MEI immediately understood that this was definitely a lousy idea!
What do you want to do?
"Sorry..."
Understanding that the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, Kiana flashed behind MEI and knocked her out with a gentle tap.
One could only say, in front of her, MEI was as fragile as a loli.
Picking up MEI, who had already finished washing and smelled fragrant, she carried the other party through the window into Leo's home like a thief.
Just like last night, she made almost no sound during the entire process, so naturally, she wouldn't attract attention from Leo's side.
After probing and finding that Leo was still in the study playing games with [Raiden Mei], she carried MEI into Leo's bedroom with a face full of wicked laughter.
Afterwards, acting as if nothing had happened, she returned to Leo's home from MEI's home.
"Um..."
Revealing a helpless expression, she came to the study and said to Leo, "MEI still chickened out. She said she wasn't feeling well and didn't come over."
"?"
Leo, who was playing games with [Raiden Mei], naturally didn't expect that this cooked duck could actually fly away.
But since things had come to this, he certainly wouldn't be so lacking in romance as to insist on chasing after her.
After all, in his view, taking down MEI was just a matter of sooner or later.
He might even have a chance to mock the other party in the future because she chickened out.
Just—
"Really?"
Looking Kiana up and down, he had a face full of disbelief.
Mainly, Kiana had looked like the 'King of Ideas' from start to finish, so he naturally wouldn't easily trust Kiana.
Just—
"If you don't believe it, go next door and ask her directly."
Knowing Leo's personality well, Kiana took a risk and used the tactic of retreating to advance.
Besides, the worst outcome would just be getting beaten and scolded by Leo and the others, so she appeared quite nonchalant, which actually fooled Leo.
"Alright."
Seeing Kiana actually looking indifferent, Leo could only believe it.
Although the whole thing was so strange, he also believed Kiana wouldn't harm him. So even if he was really deceived, it shouldn't be anything bad.
Since that was the case, he simply believed it.
Moreover—
"Then tonight, it can only be you two...?"
Just as he was preparing to call out to [Raiden Mei], he found that [Raiden Mei] threw the controller down directly and retracted back into the [long sword].
Admittedly, he would definitely still spend time tonight to [Level Up] for [Raiden Mei], but judging by the attitude [Raiden Mei] displayed, he would definitely have to fight a second round tonight.
—That works too!
"Hmph!"
Seeing Leo lock his gaze onto her, Kiana couldn't help but say, "Come on, I have nowhere to run anyway."
After saying that, she actively turned around, wanting to open the door to go to the bedroom.
Just—
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Leo actually hugged her, she couldn't help getting a bit anxious. Because she naturally didn't dare to use a heavy hand on MEI, by her estimation, MEI was about to wake up.
Therefore—
"Back... back to the bed... I don't want to dirty the game console..."
Due to panic, her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But precisely because of this, it instead stimulated Leo's interest.
"Could it be you don't want to [Level Up] while playing games?"
Leaning into Kiana's ear, he gently exhaled, and then directly took that soft earlobe into his mouth.
Immediately, he could feel the body in his arms tremble, showing signs of gradually melting.
Thus, he hurriedly added more fuel to the fire.
"Or is it that you are afraid of losing to me in the game?"
Undoubtedly, this was the most untechnical goading method, but in his view, with Kiana's vigorous competitiveness, she would inevitably agree.
Just—
"N-No!"
Although the thought of staying and having a great battle with Leo did appear in her heart, Kiana still hadn't forgotten MEI.
So... let's leave this duel for the future!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help forcefully breaking free from Leo's embrace, pretending to be dissatisfied as she said, "Do you want to play new tricks that much?"
"Uh..."
Seeing Kiana's reaction exceed his expectations, Leo couldn't help feeling a bit doubtful.
Connecting it with Kiana's previously blatant "bad intentions," he couldn't help but have a bold guess... Wait for me in the bedroom!
Otherwise, he didn't believe Kiana would refuse his invitation to battle.
And since MEI was still there, he naturally cooperated with Kiana's acting.
"Alright..."
Revealing an apologetic look, he said sincerely, "I didn't take your mood into account. Let's go back to the bedroom."
"?"
Never expecting Leo to apologize so directly, Kiana was the one whose conscience felt a bit uneasy now.
But staying in the study with Leo was impossible, so she desperately pondered new ideas.
And as her gaze swept around, she suddenly discovered the eye mask placed on the game console, which was originally used to rest the eyes.
But now—
"Since you want to play new tricks so much, I'll play with you for a while."
"Just..."
Without waiting for Leo to speak, she snatched the eye mask from the console into her hand and said, "You have to play my new trick!"
"An eye mask?"
Revealing a subtle expression, Leo didn't resist, allowing Kiana to put it on him.
"Fine, then tonight is up to you."
Though he said that, he was even more convinced of his guess!
—MEI is definitely hiding in the bedroom preparing to give me a surprise...
You two really know how to arrange some new tricks for me!
"Heh heh!"
Seeing Leo look willing, Kiana couldn't help letting out a smug sound.
After all, in her view, Leo was obviously deceived by her.
Of course, generally speaking, her thought wasn't wrong. It was just that both sides obviously had some misunderstandings, which allowed her to lead the blindfolded Leo into the bedroom.
"Phew..."
Seeing MEI still unconscious, she couldn't help letting out a long sigh of relief, relaxing.
"What's wrong?"
The blindfolded Leo naturally had his other senses significantly enhanced and naturally felt Kiana's relaxation.
Involuntarily, he said in a teasing tone, "Could it be that you've hidden someone in your room?"
Obviously, he was insinuating MEI.
However—
"!!!"
Thinking Leo saw MEI through the eye mask, Kiana couldn't help tensing her whole body, hurriedly saying in a slightly trembling voice, "H-How is that possible?"
"Where would there be anyone else?"
After saying that, she hurriedly looked at Leo's eye mask. Only after confirming that the other party's eye mask wasn't leaking light did she relax again.
However, she was also afraid that things would change if she delayed, so she immediately started to undress Leo.
"Heh~"
Hearing Kiana's lack of confidence, Leo couldn't help chuckling lightly, allowing Kiana to serve him.
What just surprised him was... is she asleep?
His enhanced hearing could clearly hear a steady breathing sound. This absolutely didn't sound like someone who was awake.
Mainly... how big of a heart must MEI have to remain so calm knowing what she was about to do next?
Anyway, given MEI's previous reactions, he didn't believe MEI could do it.
And since that was the case, the final possibility was... because MEI was too nervous, she dazedly fell asleep instead.
Not just humans, this situation also appears among animals.
Just like some [Silly Roe Deer]; they faint after being startled.
And MEI was very likely in this situation. Thinking about being startled, she couldn't help but nervously faint and fall asleep.
—She really is cute~
Thinking that he could take the opportunity to tease MEI later, Leo couldn't help humming lightly.
Just—
"Y-You, behave yourself!"
The squatting Kiana couldn't help voicing her dissatisfaction to Leo.
—It's not time yet!
Immediately, rustling sounds rang out in the room again.
Then—
"Come here."
Under Kiana's guidance, Leo arrived at the bedside, and immediately, he touched the bedding.
"Hmm?"
—What play is this?
He originally thought Kiana would wake MEI up directly, but he didn't hear Kiana make any extra sounds.
Next—
"You can take off the eye mask now."
Issuing a satisfied sound, the corners of Kiana's mouth couldn't help curling up.
At this moment, her brilliant plan finally succeeded!
"Hmm?"
Slightly stunned, Leo still took off the eye mask according to Kiana's instruction.
Thus, he saw Kiana, only her head revealed, inside the bulging blankets, as well as a pair of beautiful legs exposed outside the blanket.
—Double act? Playing this big?
In an instant, he understood something.
Just... would MEI really play with her like this?
Honestly, he didn't quite dare to believe it.
But the fact was right before his eyes. Especially facing such an erotic scene, if he didn't boil with beastly blood, then he could go be a saint!
At this moment, the little head took over the big head!
"Looks like you already understand~"
Seeing Leo making preparations, Kiana couldn't help revealing a look that said 'this child is teachable'.
At the same time, she felt she could retire after her success.
Just—
"Hmm?"
Feeling the abnormality under the blanket, she couldn't help revealing a subtle expression.
Next—
"D-Don't think about running!"
Although the voice was trembling, that voice of resentment, seemingly crawling out from hell, was solidly conveyed to Kiana.
"Uh..."
Slightly stunned, when Kiana lifted the blanket, she naturally saw MEI, whose face was completely red, whether from being suffocated or other reasons.
At this moment, MEI was pulling Kiana's clothes, obviously not prepared to let this idiot who calculated her escape!
Of course, if Kiana really wanted to run, she naturally couldn't stop her.
But, she still had outside help!
"Hmm?"
Sensing MEI's instruction, Leo grabbed Kiana directly.
Admittedly the other party possessed the monstrous strength of the Kaslana family, but when he got serious, he also had stats as a guarantee and could absolutely suppress Kiana.
Thus—
"I, I... I won't run..."
Facing the pincer attack from Leo and MEI, Kiana also understood she couldn't run away tonight.
Since that's the case... let's [Level Up] together!
"So..."
Only after suppressing Kiana did Leo have time to ask MEI what exactly happened.
"You have to ask this idiot."
Rolling her eyes at Leo, MEI said grumpily, "She plotted everything."
"Hey! (ω)~"
Facing the gaze Leo cast over, Kiana couldn't help trying to muddle through with cuteness.
However—
"So you weren't willing... this was all her plotting?"
With Leo's intelligence, he naturally quickly figured out the divergence point of the matter.
And as long as he determined this divergence point, he could naturally see the full picture clearly.
"Mm..."
Seeing Leo understand, MEI nodded and spoke bluntly, "This idiot felt she ruined our good deed this morning, so she wanted to do something to make it up to us."
"Heh~"
Chuckling lightly, Leo couldn't help saying sarcastically to Kiana, "That's really something, Kiana."
—Well done! Kiana!
Of course, he didn't dare say such true praise right now.
And saving it for later, he believed, would also be in time.
Furthermore—
"Stop pretending."
MEI, having already seen through Leo's mind, couldn't help saying grumpily, "If you want to praise her, just praise her. No need to hide it."
"Ha, haha..."
Laughing dryly twice, Leo naturally didn't dare to really do as MEI said.
But on his side, naturally, he wouldn't do nothing.
Thus—
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, MEI shifted her gaze elsewhere, not daring to meet Leo's eyes.
Of course, speaking of which, she didn't wake up because of this matter, but woke up as early as when Kiana was undressing her.
—If she didn't wake up even then, Kiana's hand would have been too heavy!
But at that time, she naturally didn't dare to speak. She could only continue pretending to sleep until Leo started to show his power, and Kiana wanted to run, before she had to "wake up"!
And now, since Kiana wasn't running, she understood what she should face.
One had to say... surprisingly okay.
Just—
"Heh~"
Seeing MEI enter the state, Kiana couldn't help leaning over with a fawning face and holding one of MEI's hands.
"It's only just begun; it will be even more wonderful later."
Looking at that pretty face identical to [Raiden Mei]'s, her mood was also extremely subtle.
However, since she had already seen the original like this last night, she naturally could accept the scene before her eyes.
Not to mention she was also one of the "victims". Even if her mood was subtle, she could only accept it now.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, MEI couldn't help freezing slightly.
Originally in her view, this was already good enough. How could... it be even more powerful?
In fact, this was already stronger than when she cast water magic. She completely couldn't imagine what an even stronger scene would look like.
However, according to Kiana's meaning—
If you don't do this, seeing me is like a frog in a well viewing the moon in the sky; if you do this, seeing me is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!
"Looks like you've already adapted to the current intensity."
Listening to the exchange between Kiana and MEI, the corners of Leo's mouth couldn't help hooking into a smile of pleasure.
At this moment, he finally revealed his true fangs to MEI, no longer holding back!
Undoubtedly, taking into account MEI's [Stinky Medium Cup] physical stats, he naturally didn't dare to use the intensity he used on [Raiden Mei] or Kiana.
At the very least, he would give MEI a process of adaptation. Otherwise, with his current physical stats, MEI meeting him would really shatter upon touch!
But since MEI had gradually adapted, he naturally had to increase the intensity for MEI!
Thus—
"Wait... N-No!"
Only having time to say a few words, tears appeared at the corners of MEI's eyes. Her whole person became completely lost, utterly defeated in front of Leo.
Undoubtedly, this was a battle with absolutely no fairness to speak of.
Leaving aside that her stats completely couldn't compare to Leo's, even if her physical strength reached Leo's standard, with her clumsy combat experience that was close to zero, she couldn't be Leo's opponent.
One could only say, she was facing an opponent she could not possibly defeat!
"Heh~"
Seeing MEI break her defense in a second, Leo naturally wouldn't let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and continued to pursue fiercely.
After all, MEI hadn't shown him few ice-cold faces before; he had always remembered this grudge!
Since MEI was defeated now, he naturally had to pay it back double until he was satisfied, until MEI was satisfied!
Thus, this one-sided battle didn't end because of MEI's defeat, but instead continued endlessly.
Even in the end—
"Let MEI go."
Kiana, unable to bear it, could only offer herself to Leo to calm the other party's anger.
However—
"Hmph hmph~"
Issuing a pleasurable sound, Leo leaned into Kiana's ear and said, "Do you really just want me to let her go, and not let you go too?"
Undoubtedly, his main attack on MEI was also taking the opportunity to discipline Kiana.
After all, Kiana had already agreed not to run, so naturally, she could only wait bitterly in place, waiting for Leo or MEI's dispatch.
Therefore, unable to battle for a long time, she had even subconsciously cast water magic.
So now—
"T-That..."
Understanding her little thoughts couldn't deceive Leo, Kiana could only turn her blushing pretty face to the side and whisper, "Then please let me go too...!"
Currently, she could only declare submission to Leo. Otherwise, she didn't know how much longer she and MEI would have to endure the torture.
Or rather... who would break first!
—Truly, those who are parched die of thirst, and those who are flooded die of drowning!
"Fine~"
Seeing Kiana being so honest, Leo finally let MEI go and fought with Kiana into a ball.
Compared to MEI, Kiana's combat experience actually wasn't great either.
But relying on being reckless enough, plus the Kaslana family's monstrous strength, she could actually suppress Leo at the beginning, occupying the absolute upper hand.
But unfortunately, that was just Leo's method of resting and building up strength.
—No matter how weak MEI is, he still consumes stamina!
And now that he had rested well, the latter half of the time was naturally him suppressing Kiana.
The previously arrogant female knight of the Kaslana family was now beaten by him until she threw away her helmet and armor, completely losing the initiative... and even her human rights!
"M-Master... I was wrong!"
Using the name of seeking justice for MEI, Leo made her modify her address.
"Heh~"
Issuing a pleasurable laugh, Leo was very satisfied with Kiana's attitude.
However—
"You guys are playing quite happily."
Unknown when, MEI had already woken up and arrived behind Leo.
"Uh..."
Never expecting MEI's recovery speed to be so fast, Leo couldn't help having a second of hesitation.
But this one second of weakness was detected by Kiana, who had a keen combat sense.
Thus—
"Hmm?"
Looking at the female knight who turned the tables, Leo couldn't help being a bit dazed.
But before he could react, a snow-white little foot stepped on his face.
"Don't think I didn't hear how you belittled me just now..."
Satisfiedly glancing at Kiana, MEI spoke up, "Small fry... Right! Just a small fry!"
"Hmph hmph!"
"Now being called this by me, how do you feel?"
"Small fry Small fry"
While speaking, her foot was also exerting force, stepping Leo's head fiercely into the soft mattress.
Anyway, she knew very well that with her strength, it was fundamentally impossible to hurt Leo, let alone that the battlefield was on a soft bed.
So, she dared to exert force so unscrupulously.
However—
"Mmph!?"
Revealing a shocked expression, Kiana looked at MEI and then at Leo; for a moment, she didn't know if MEI was friend or foe.
But no matter what, she received heavy damage.
After all, being able to take the guest role as host just now was already her using up her last bit of strength.
Now suffering a backstab, she naturally fell down helplessly.
Thus—
"..."
Looking at Leo who forced himself up, MEI couldn't help panicking a bit.
Although she really wanted to wake up her ally, seeing Kiana's expression of dying from happiness, she knew she couldn't wake the other party for the time being.
In other words, at least during this period, she had to face Leo alone.
So—
"Hey... can we reconcile?"
Extremely rarely, she revealed a pitiful expression, trying to recall Leo's humanity.
However, it was a pity. Her action, just like Kiana's last night, would only draw out more of Leo's bestiality.
"I, I was wrong!... Spare me... Ugh... Master!"
Although she was trying her best to apologize and beg for mercy, even changing her address for Leo, MEI still lost consciousness.

Of course, he didn't let Kiana's side off either.
Even before Kiana woke up, he actively attacked.
After all, later, he still had to [Level Up] [Raiden Mei].

Inside the [blade space].
"You really aren't gentle to them at all..."
Facing Leo, [Raiden Mei]'s legs couldn't help going a bit soft.
She naturally took in all of the other party's atrocities outside; at this moment, she was naturally a bit afraid.
—Does this guy like 'the sun never sets' that much?
"I was gentle enough."
Looking at [Raiden Mei] with some amusement, Leo couldn't help laughing, "If I really wasn't gentle, MEI wouldn't have had the chance to talk to me at all."
"After all, regarding this point, you should have personal experience, right?"
After saying that, the smile on his mouth couldn't help becoming more presumptuous.
"Hmph!"
With a light snort, [Raiden Mei] pretended to be dissatisfied and turned her head to the side, no longer meeting Leo's eyes.
But from her constantly winding her falling purple hair around her finger, it could be seen that she was extremely guilty right now.
"Alright."
Understanding that [Raiden Mei] was only tough with her mouth but soft in body, Leo bullied his way up directly, whispering, "Neglecting you tonight was my problem."
After saying that, he hugged [Raiden Mei] tightly, as if to melt the other party into his own body.
"T-That's more like it..."
Feeling Leo's apology, [Raiden Mei]'s expression finally slowly improved.
Of course, in the end, this was just a step down offered by Leo; how could she not understand?
And truth be told, on the surface, Leo neglected her, but in reality, her face was too thin, and she didn't dare to be together with Kiana, MEI, and the others.
And now that Leo could be considerate of her, she naturally felt gratitude. Compared to verbal rhetoric, she had already used actions to show her current thoughts.
"Heh~"
Issuing a light chuckle, Leo was naturally also very satisfied with [Raiden Mei]'s reaction.
—Some things just need this kind of tacit understanding!
However... right now just three people are like this. When there are more people in the future, can I really handle it?
As for his body, he wasn't worried.
After all, the more people he formed a [Bond] with, the stronger his body became, and the stronger his body became, the more people he could [Bond] with.
It could be said to be spiraling into the heavens by stepping on his left foot with his right; naturally, he wouldn't worry about his body.
The only thing he needed to worry about was time.
The only thing worth celebrating was that [Raiden Mei] and the others were all small fry. Actually, if really leveling up, it didn't take much time.
More time was used to take care of the girls' emotions, as well as thoroughly defeating them.
Just like now, actually [Raiden Mei] had already lost, but he still felt the other party wasn't defeated thoroughly enough... At least she should babble some nonsense, right?
Precisely because of this, he didn't stop attacking, and even used that [purple thunder].
Of course, when outside earlier, he also didn't use it sparingly.
In short, from Kiana and MEI's sleeping faces of happiness, it could be seen that he wasn't wrong to do so.
—Using [purple thunder] is correct!
And compared to the two outside, [Raiden Mei] was naturally more resistant to electricity.
Therefore... increase the power!
Until—
"M-Master... is this okay?"
[Raiden Mei], understanding what Leo wanted to hear, could only shout out rather helplessly.
For the time being, let Leo listen to his heart's content tonight!
[[Raiden Mei]: Level 6 -> Level 9 new!]
With this, the subjugation battle of the three women was a complete victory.
The next day.
Based on her biological clock, although MEI could feel her body's extreme reluctance, she still forcibly woke up relying on reason.
Honestly, she felt like she had been run over by a heavy truck right now.
But she had to say, although she felt her body was heavy and tired, her mood was unexpectedly cheerful, like she had put on brand new underwear on New Year's Day...
...I must have been influenced by that guy!
Realizing her abnormality, she couldn't help looking around, wanting to find that culprit who made her become so weird.
However—
"Only Kiana?"
Seeing Kiana still deep asleep, she didn't disturb the other party. Instead, she gently climbed up from the bed, put on the equipment scattered on the floor, and then walked out of the bedroom.
Although she really wanted to enter the bathroom to take a shower now and clean up that sticky feeling on her body.
But she wanted to see what that bad guy Leo was doing more... Could he have pulled an all-nighter playing games again?
She had seen Kiana's clothes; obviously, they had been changed.
In other words, Leo and the others still entered the [Instance] after she fell asleep last night.
But now Leo wasn't there, so she naturally cared a lot!
However—
"?"
Leo in the open kitchen saw MEI come out and said with a face full of surprise, "You woke up already?"
"Otherwise?"
Seeing Leo again, MEI's pretty face couldn't suppress her flushing.
And at this moment, she finally couldn't deceive her own heart anymore...
What about wanting to see if Leo pulled an all-nighter playing games again?
Not so!
She purely just wanted to see Leo again!
And when she saw Leo, her inexplicably anxious heart finally settled down.
Even—
"Heh~"
Seeing MEI hug him directly from behind, Leo couldn't help saying, "I understand your mood, but please be a bit careful. I'm making [red bean rice], don't get burned."
"Mm..."
Burying her head in Leo's back, MEI let out a muffled hum through her nose.
Just like this, the two didn't speak, maintaining the current ambiguous atmosphere with considerable tacit understanding, until—
"The rice is ready."
Turning around, Leo hugged MEI in his arms.
"Wait for me here a moment; I'll go wake Kiana up."
"Okay."
Although Leo mentioned another woman at this time, MEI inexplicably didn't feel there was any problem.
After all, she knew clearly that if she swapped positions with Kiana now, Leo would do the same.
Precisely because of this, she didn't feel neglected.
Moreover... [red bean rice]?
Today really is a day worth celebrating!
And she knew very well that whether it was [Raiden Mei] or Kiana, neither had this treatment... Mainly because they were too busy, and Leo couldn't attend to it!
But now—
Heh, heh heh heh... I can't laugh yet!
Although she also understood this thought was somewhat like a 'losing heroine', she still couldn't help feeling happy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't suppress curling up.
Of course, rushing before Leo brought Kiana back, she still put away her smile.
For the time being, she still wanted to maintain that calm and wise scholar demeanor in front of everyone.
Just—
"MEI, your expressions last night were so exaggerated!"
With just one sentence, Kiana made MEI, who had cultivated her Qi for eighteen years, break her defense!
"K-Kiana... what are you saying?"
With a blushing face, MEI glared angrily at Kiana.
Feeling the gaze Leo cast over, she only felt her face was burning.
"Is this something that can't be said?"
Looking at MEI with a subtle expression, Kiana couldn't help saying, "I was clearly seen by you too."
"Uh..."
Facing Kiana's righteous logic, MEI really couldn't refute it.
Fortunately—
"Alright."
Timely, [Raiden Mei] spoke up, "Kiana, you really should cultivate your maiden heart more."
With a slightly red face, she could understand MEI's current situation very well, so she hurriedly cast a look full of apology towards MEI.
After all, last night, it was precisely because she was shy that she didn't fight the 'Three Ying vs. Leo' with these two.
"Uh..."
Being told this by [Raiden Mei], Kiana immediately revealed a depressed expression.
"Enough."
Finally, Leo spoke. He said bluntly, "Don't say such things that make it hard for MEI to step down anymore, otherwise watch out for yourself tonight."
Though he said that, he was very grateful for Kiana's remarks, which let him see a different MEI again.
But precisely because of this, he had to thank Kiana properly!
"Ugh!"
Seeing Leo say this, Kiana immediately fell silent.
After all, if really targeted by Leo, she knew deeply how 'uncomfortable' that feeling was, so naturally, she didn't dare to act rashly now.
"Ahem..."
Clearing her throat, MEI decided to change the subject.
"Did you guys have any gains last night?"
"Last night?"
Talking about business, Leo also gathered his mind, saying bluntly, "I was mainly still leveling up, and Kiana went to find [Bronya]."
"But—"
Speaking of this, his expression couldn't help being a bit solemn.
"I didn't find her."
Actively taking over the conversation, Kiana said, "She didn't appear in the cafeteria."
Although she and [Bronya] hadn't agreed on how to meet the previous night, given the tacit understanding between the two of them, she believed [Bronya] would definitely still appear in that time slot.
However, she guarded for almost the whole night and still didn't see [Bronya].
—This was the reason why she hadn't woken up when MEI woke up.
Therefore, she understood that something must have happened on [Bronya]'s side.
However, she knew even more clearly that going over with their current strength would be no different from delivering food.
So—
Still have to prioritize leveling up!
Regarding this point, Leo naturally thought the same.
Thus, for the next few days, they leveled up frantically, until—
[Player Honkai Point reached 99. Requires D-Rank License and 100,000 points of Imaginary Energy to continue improving.]
—So in Tongzi's eyes, I'm not even D-Rank?
